Well I told the old man get ready to fight, and I tied on a rusty hook spoon and waited for my prey. As they came by I reared up and aimed to try to get it just in front of the skier, but my cast missed. I was so mad that I had missed, that I quickly reeled back in and began motioning to them to come back around. Well that was too much for the old man and he wanted to leave.
I keep a large nasty treble snatching hook in the boat at all times. Never know, and I really don’t think I will miss again. Aim at the boat dummy - I think whenever I see it.
